Proceeds will help fund the 2025 TPML Big Give online donation campaign.

bit.ly/BigGiveTPML for more information.

Sponsored by Friends of the Library. Donations accepted through Sept. 2 in bins in the library and outside the Friends bookstore.

Items accepted include household goods, kitchenware, holiday and seasonal decor, hobby and craft supplies, toys, games, puzzles, furniture and home decor, sports equipment, and jewelry and accessories.

Legal experts will answer questions about immigration law — especially issues surrounding arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“Deporting people without a hearing or without seeing a judge is unconstitutional, and suspending asylum programs and ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for people who are legally in this country is a violation of their constitutional rights.”

The session will be moderated by Ruth Herrera Solis, Ed.D, who worked in educational administration and was a speech-language pathologist in Edinburg before moving to Comal County. She is fully bilingual in English and Spanish.

Sponsored by the Democratic Party of Comal County.
